Counting notes
One row is a license event, not necessarily one dog.
The city export does not contain a dog ID, license/emblem ID, or anonymized owner ID. Renewals can therefore repeat the same dog, while two different dogs can share the same name and traits.
What “registry profile” means: a distinct combination of dog name, breed,
color, gender, ZIP code, and ward. That removes obvious repeated rows and gives a steadier
popularity signal, but it can still merge different dogs or split one dog after a move or
profile change. We publish both the 147,119 license-event rows
and the 116,813 registry profiles,
and never describe either as an exact count of unique Chicago dogs.
Questions about this list
Dog Names That Start With I FAQ.
What is the most popular dog name that starts with I?

How many dog names start with I in the Chicago registry?
